Reserving a room by phone
Front Desk: Royal Hotel, can I help you? Tom: Yes. I urgently need a room for tomorrow night, and do you have any vacancies1? Front Desk: Yes, we have. What kind of room would you like? Tom: I'd like a suite2 with an ocean view, please. Front Desk: No problem, sir. Tom: What is the price of the suite? Front Desk: It is US$ 280 per night. Tom: It is a little high. I'm told that your hotel is offering discount now. Front Desk: Yes, but the offer ended yesterday. I'm sorry. Tom: Oh, I see. Then do you have anything less expensive? Front Desk: No, sir. So far it is the least expensive suite for tomorrow night. Tom: OK, I will take it. By the way, does the price include breakfast? Front Desk: Yes, it does. Now could I have your name, please? Tom: My name is Tom Zhang. Front Desk: Would you kindly3 spell it for me? Tom: That is T-O-M, Z-H-A-N-G. Front Desk: Thank you, I got it. And how long do you expect to stay? Tom: About three days. Front Desk: OK. Our check-in time is after 1:00pm. And see you tomorrow. Front Desk: Thank you. See you.
